Cisco Duo
User-friendly, secure access for all users, devices, and applications.
Overview
Cisco Duo is a cloud-based security platform that provides multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and device trust capabilities. Duo's device trust feature allows organizations to verify the security posture of devices before granting access to applications. It can check for up-to-date software, enabled security features like disk encryption and firewalls, and whether the device is managed by the organization. This helps to prevent compromised or non-compliant devices from accessing sensitive data.
